Assigned Blog #2 Saving Private Ryan

This movie is about D-day June 6, 1944 and trying to save a soilder named Private Ryan.   The United States and Great Britian spent many months trying to prepare for this battle.  The invasion was actually supposed to happen on another day but, bad weather postponed the invasion.  The Americans invaded France to reclaim France and save Great Britain from Germany.  Omaha Beach is where most of the American soilders died trying to invade Normandy France. Thousands of American soilders died on that day trying to take the beach.  After the sucessful invasion it was found out that a family of Ryan brothers were all fighting in WWII and that three of them had already been killed.  Private Ryan was one one of four boys fighting in WWII.   The government set out that day to rescue the only remaining Ryan Son and return him home alive. They then sent in a small group of soiders to find and save Private Ryan.  In the beginning many of the soilders sent to save him questioned why they are doing this to only save one man.  After they heard the story of all his other brothers being killed they all decided that it was a good idea to save him for his families sake.  In the process of trying to find Private Ryan many of the men sent to save him end up getting killed.  In the end after many small battles they, did save him and sent him home safely.
